¿You need the last marshmallow firmware with lollipop bootloader/modem or only the last lollipop firmware?

Bro you can flash lollipop bootloader, but it is easier for you to just flash stock LOLLIPOP firmware using odin, that is all

stock roms cannot be flashed via a custom recovery
that has to done through odin
you will lose root if you flash from odin
but you can root it again after you flashed it
if you wait for a custom lollipop rom you can flash it via a custom recovery

[Q] Downgrading to KK

I've recently installed the official Lollipop from Poland on my n9005, and I have some problems with every official LP release (starting to charge randomly even when not plugged) so I wonder if I can downgrade to KK.
I dont have any backups on my phone, so the only solution is using ODIN to flash official KK back to my phone, right ?

I'm in the same situation too, I was wondering what if i rooted and installed a custom recovery to my Lolipop then flashed a custom kitkat rom, will this even work?

How do I downgrade from Lollipop back to KitKat?

Hey, I've updated to Lollipop and I have upgraded bootloader, modem, etc with stock ODIN rom (lollipop). I prefer KitKat... do you know how I can go back to running KitKat? I tried flashing KitKat but ODIN fails after the lined hidden.img.ext (something like that).
Thanks! :victory:
that is weird, i have downgraded to NF4 and it was working. problem is that the baseband is not downgraded, so i didn't have a signal.
I have downgrade from OB1 tout NI4 rom. ...and i flashed separately modem and BL because notre implemented with stock rom

Reverting back to Stock Kitkat firmware.

I'm using the stock based CleanStock firmware currently. It's a great custom rom but I want to revert back to stock KitKat rom. How can I do so. Can someone tell me the exact procedure? Please help. Thanks!

Flash fastboot
Flash recovery
Flash boot.img
Sideload the kitkat firmware .
(All things mentioned above you get in kit Kat firmware .)bootloader relock is optional .
Also you can later install the custom recovery .if you need .
What's sideloading? How can I do that?

Downgrade to 4.3

I was wondering if I could possibly downgrade back to android 4.3 on my gt-i9500 by just flashing the stock firmware using odin. I'm currently on stock rooted TouchWiz firmware android 5.0.1.
And if there is a TWRP flashable stock android 4.3 ROM, kindly tell me.
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

The only TWRP flashable stock ROMs are custom TouchWiz based ROMs.

I heard that, when trying to flash older firmware than the one on your device, Odin fails due to some downgrade restrictions.
Wit that being said, it's not impossible to downgrade. You just have to workaround those restrictions. Maybe by following a guide.
